Thermaguard™ SAL 600 provides corrosion protection to steel pr°Cessing equipment operating at elevated or cryogenic temperatures -196 to 600°C. Can be used in both OEM (shop applied) & maintenance applications, due to its surface tolerance to St 2/3 prepared surfaces. Such facilities include, petr°Chemical, chemical plants, offshore, power, refining, and generic pr°Cessing; pipework, flares stacks, vents, chimneys, exhausts, tanks, heat exchangers etc. operating within -196 to 600°C temperature range.
- Application methods
Airless, airspray, brush & roller
- Substrate temperature & conditions
Substrate temperature should remain between 10 to 50°C and remain 3°C above the dew point and relative humidity should remain 35 - 85% during application. For hot application (50 to 130°C) thinning may be necessary to ensure correct application of the coating.

Mixing
Thermaguard™ SAL 600 is a single component product, settling can °Ccur during transport & storage. The material should always be mixed using a mechanical agitation ensuring all settled-out pigments are dispersed until a uniform consistency is reached.
Reactivity
Thermaguard™ SAL 600 is reactive with moisture, skinning can °Ccur once opened. To prevent skinning keep covered at all times. Reducer Thermaguard™ X21 (10 to 50°C application) Thermaguard™ S100 (50 to 130°C application)
Clean up Use
Thermaguard™ X21 for cleaning after product use. Ensuring all material is flushed from application equipment.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Surface preparation
Intended for steel surfaces, both carbon & stainless. Substrates must be clean, dry and free from any contamination. All oil, dirt, grease, dust, foreign material and loose rust must be removed prior to coating.
Carbon steel
Abrasive blast clean to Sa 2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP10. The resulting surface profile (Rz) should be 30 - 50µm. All sharp edges & rough welds should be rounded off.
Thermaguard™ SAL 600 has surface tolerance to maintenance work applications where tight adhering or flash rusted steel surfaces are present & blasting is not possible. In such circumstances pr°Ceed with the following pretreatment; remove all loose adhering rust & rust scale and follow St 2/3 surface preparation prior to application.
Stainless steel
Abrasive sweep clean using a non-metallic & chloride free abrasive (aluminum oxide or garnet). The resulting surface profile (Rz) should be 30 - 50µm. All sharp edges & rough welds should be rounded off.
- System specifications
Thermaguard™ SAL 600 in a 2 coat application for corrosion protection as a direct to metal (DTM) coating system. Carbon or stainless steel, ambient spray (10 to 50°C) application:
- Thermaguard™ SAL 600: 25 - 75µm DFT
- Thermaguard™ SAL 600: 25 - 75µm DFT
Application of Thermaguard™ SAL 600 by airless or airspray are the preferred application methods when applied over Sa 2½ prepared carbon steel or abrasively swept stainless steel (Rz >30µm). New build applications should adopt a stripe coating method to ensure edges have adequate film build.
Topcoated finish, ambient spray (10 to 50°C) application:
- Thermaguard™ SAL 600: 25 - 75µm DFT
- Thermaguard™ SAL 600: 25 - 75µm DFT
- Thermaguard™ TC 1200: 50 - 60µm DFT
If colored finishes are required whether for safety recognition or aesthetical purposes, Thermaguard™ TC 1200 can be used, please see technical data sheet for further information regarding this product.
